It was not an insult. I have early dementia, was diagnosed in my 50’s. It is not Alzheimer’s. It a type of dementia that abused children get due to the fact that the abuse causes their brains not to grow correctly. The diagnosis was made by a neurologist at the UofU.
Having said that, which matters not to you, I don’t take it back. You said you didn’t understand something that was easy to understand. If your comment was part of your sarcasm, then it should have been clearer than it was. I took you seriously.
I told a friend at the apartment who I saw almost fall while walking that she should use a walker or cane. She explained that she had an ankle issue and didn’t need either.

I offered to give her one of mine, either one or both. She refused.
I said she was being another stubborn old woman. Yup, she was insulted. So what? We talked a little more, she agreed she was being stubborn (and she is old and a woman

). I had her best interest in mind when I suggested she needed a walking aid. I had your best interest in mind when I suggested you might get checked out.
No apology to her. No apology to you. But feel free to insult me, husband does it all the time-it’s water off a duck‘s back. And if I didn’t like you, I wouldn’t have suggest you see someone, just saying.
